Over half a million acres of protected land known as the Chicago Wilderness are owned and managed by county forest preserve districts and other public and private sector partners. But there's a critical factor of the Chicago Wilderness conservation effort that makes it unique: a pioneering grassroots volunteer community, thousands strong, has worked for decades alongside agency staff to restore these nearby natural areas, learning how to manage biodiversity in an altered and ever-changing urban context. A Healthy Nature Handbook captures hard-earned ecological wisdom from this community in engaging and highly readable chapters, each including illustrated restoration sequences. Restoration leaders cover large-scale seeding approaches, native seed production, wetland and grassland bird habitat restoration, monitoring, and community building. Contributions from local artists bring the region's beauty to life with vibrant watercolors, oil paintings, and sketches. A Healthy Nature Handbook is packed with successful approaches to restoring nature and is a testament to both the Chicago region's surprising natural wealth and the stewards that are committed to its lasting health. 610 20 $a Chicago Region Biodiversity Council. 650 0 $a Restoration ecology $z Chicago Metropolitan Area $z Chicago Metropolitan Area $v Handbooks, manuals, etc. 650 0 $a Nature conservation $z Chicago Metropolitan Area $z Chicago Metropolitan Area $v Handbooks, manuals, etc. 650 0 $a Natural areas $z Chicago Metropolitan Area $z Chicago Metropolitan Area $v Handbooks, manuals, etc. 650 6 $a ReÌhabilitation (EÌcologie) $z Chicago, AgglomeÌration de. $z Chicago, AgglomeÌration de. 650 6 $a Nature $x Conservation $z Chicago, AgglomeÌration de. $z Chicago, AgglomeÌration de. 650 6 $a ReÌserves naturelles $z Chicago, AgglomeÌration de. $z Chicago, AgglomeÌration de. 650 7 $a Natural areas. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033960 650 7 $a Nature conservation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01034632 650 7 $a Restoration ecology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01095983 651 7 $a Illinois $z Chicago Metropolitan Area. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01345823 655 7 $a Handbooks and manuals. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Pepper, Justin, $e editor. 700 1 $a Parker, Don $c (Freelance writer, editor, and illustrator), $e illustrator. $e illustrator. 776 08 $i Electronic version: $t Healthy nature handbook. $d Washington, DC : Island Press ; [Chicago, Illinois] : Bobolink Foundation, [2021] $z 9781642832433 $w (OCoLC)1273981687 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718100351.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E98F845E214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
